• Being a valued member of the team, ensuring that programs are being met in terms of timeline, resource plans, cost and quality.

A hugely varied day, every day

The role demands a can-do attitude that means you can get to grips with wide-ranging responsibilities, which include:

• Assisting in project estimates and overseeing cost control when the project is live.
• Reviewing product specifications and construction information with both clients and manufacturers.
• Participating in risk management activities such as tracking project progression and reporting key milestones.
• Liaising with colleagues to resolve issues and identify areas where we can improve.
• Completing compliance checks of project documentation that enables further accreditations.
